In reply to Which roomy Bivy sack fits a long RECTANGULAR sleeping bag? posted by Scottreynolds on April 4, 2008 at 11:05:50 pm EDT

In searching for bivies, I notice some sleeping bag makers are claiming their synthetic bags are not affected by moisture and wetness, suggesting they are fine getting wet as long as you dry them out the next day. A majority of my nights outdoors I just confront dew, not heavy rain, and I am not backpacking so I can easily dry it out during the following day.

Will one of these newer synthetic bags be fine without a bivy for dew conditions or mist conditions, as the makers claim, as long as the bag is dried out fully the next day? I am questioning the need for a bivy for much of my summer outdoor (in the back of my open bed pickup truck) camping.
